Health Update: The endocrinologist confirmed the diagnosis of Hashimoto's...Then he scoffed (or maybe it was more like a "polite chuckle") when I mentioned my research on being able to control the progression of the disease with diet alone...BAH! I shall not be deterred in my quest to avoid taking medication for the rest of my life....I'll keep ya posted!

He did some additional labwork, and when I called today to get the results, the nurse seriously pulled up my chart and then told me that the results had been mailed out this morning so I would need to wait to receive them. She had the results RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. I'm strongly beginning to question this new practice. No wonder the U.S. healthcare system is going down the crapper!!!!!
